A Vegetarian Food Blog
My husband and I are both from the same town in Illinois, so we visited our families there last weekend. We’ve only seen my family once since moving to North Carolina and we haven’t seen my husband’s family at all. We were going to go to Illinois for Christmas, but decided to wait until the [...]
Friday was my birthday, but since I had a migraine all day (again!), we didn’t really do much. So on Saturday, I loaded up on Excedrin and my husband and I went to the fancypants mall in Durham. I really wanted cheesecake for my birthday, so we went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch. I [...]
